Error with WebPack: 7:18-43 the request of a dependency is an expression

[nudoru]

Receiving and error when trying to use this in a Webpack / React project. From this line

var request = require('request'.trim());

The error is:

WARNING in ./~/tabletop/src/tabletop.js Critical dependencies: 7:18-43 the request of a dependency is an expression @ ./~/tabletop/src/tabletop.js 7:18-43

Getting this as well.

Embarrassing indeed …
import Tabletop from 'Tabletop' seems impossible
bests

There doesn't seem to be a resolution to this, did any of you get it figured out? I've tried installing the request package, I've tried forcing webpack's process.browser to true, tried webpack's noParse...no luck and I suspect this is affecting the initializing of tabletop for me.

I was getting errors from webpack when using within an Angular CLI project, so I forked the repo and removed all references to Node https://github.com/darrenmothersele/tabletop

I haven't submitted a pull request, as I'm sure a better solution exists that maintains compatibility with Node, but without the build issues.
